Thanks a lot! This works very nice.

However, I have two questions regarding the fine-tuning of the position:

How can I achieve a position after the dot? I guess I have to change
something near line 86:


       (if (and (= direction RIGHT) (ly:grob? dot-column))
           (set! (ly:grob-property dot-column 'positioning-done)
                 (lambda (grob)
                   (ly:dot-column::calc-positioning-done grob)
                   (ly:grob-translate-axis! grob width X)))))))

Since I am not (yet) a scheme/lilypond programmer I could not figure out
what to do.

Is it easily possible to vertically shift the musicglyph in one of the
functions para/parb/... without changing the other scripts?
